this type of shirt from any of the name brands usually runs around $20 on sale, so this is definitely only a luke-warm deal at best.

As for the Under Armor brand, they're good quality and have been around at least a decade as far as I can remember, and this is DEFINITELY not a "Plain T-shirt". This type of shirt is highly-engineered from the fabrics to the design and fit. It's designed to wick away sweat and dry very quickly, is very light-weight, and I believe this particular shirt is made from recycled plastic bottles.
Calling it a "plain T-shirt" is like calling Nikes "plain sneakers".

I use these shirts when I go for a long run (~8mi), and they're really great for that sort of thing. Activities where you expect to be sweating a lot make these shirts a godsend, so there's less irritation and friction than a normal cotton shirt. To me, the added price is worth the lack of chaffing and irritation.

I'd highly recommend if you have those sorts of problems while doing various types of exercise or activities that you expect to be sweating buckets from.

Sort By:

I hadn't even heard of this brand until last August, when I saw the logo on someone's shirt and asked them what it was. Now I see it absolutely everywhere. Did the popularity just explode in the last 6 months or so, or did I just crawl out from under a very heavy rock?

I can see by the confusion this deal is causing that a lot of wooters are not of the physically active variety. Under Armour is the Bentley of performance clothing. If you're active and play sports or just work out hard it's worth full price. Any discount is just a bonus for this stuff. Yeah, it's not cheap but it lasts and outperforms anything you'd like to compare it to.

@tsfisch: I think it's the latter. If anything, I'd guess (totally unscientifically) UnderArmour has slightly decreased in popularity recently due to other athletic brands going after their market. I've been using their compression gear for years for basketball/running.

I'm going to let Macklemore express my thoughts about this deal in verse:

They be like “Oh that UA Catalyst, that’s hella tight”
I’m like “Yo, that’s $22 for a t-shirt”
Limited edition, let’s do some simple addition
$22 for a t-shirt, that’s just some ignorant b!*ch sh!t
I call that getting swindled and pimped, sh!t
I call that getting tricked by business
That shirt’s hella dough
And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don’t

@tsfisch: Under Armor has been big for the last decade or so. Back around 2005 or so, they were the first sponsorship logo to be placed on the Wrigley Field outfield wall (on the doors in the wall, not on the actual ivy). These are commonly worn as undershirts under sports jerseys.

if this was a 2-for-$30 deal (or better), then it would be worth a place in the sponsored deal of the day. Like I said, this is a great product, but the price is only "meh" at best.

@tcayer: I don't pay $120 for Nikes either, I get them on clearance, or at the outlet store, and the MOST I've ever paid is probably $45-$50 for a pair of Nikes. I was simply making a quality comparison between products... this is a quality product just as Nikes are usually a quality product, so hot deals will be harder to find, and to the uninitiated the prices may seem exorbitant.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
